Mix-Ready Session Guitar

Will Puzey on SoundBetter

I deliver mix-ready guitar parts that serve the song - tight, expressive, and production-aware. Touring and session-experienced, I record fast and to professional standard.

I provide song-focused guitar and arrangement-aware parts that elevate tracks, not just decorate them. Clients hire me when they want musical judgment, tight execution and production-ready delivery. Clean stems, multiple options, and clear communication included.
